GTA 4 Patch Released
New Update Fixes Online Play
Rockstar today released the first wide-release patch for GTA 4 (Sony's self-induced system update doesn't count). The update, for both XBox 360 and PS3, claims to correct almost a dozen bugs in online play and improve performance. Some of the highlights of the update follow...
- 1. Fixed an issue where players were unable to enter or exit vehicles in GTA Race.
- 2. Fixed an issue where scripted vehicles were causing games to unexpectedly crash.
- 3. Improved reliability and frequency of PS3ª online leaderboard updates.
- 4. Fixed a rare hang some players encountered when moving from a Race or GTA Race lobby into gameplay.
- 5. Fixed a hang that would occur when players were switching teams during the countdown in the lobby.
- 6. Fixed an issue where players were able to get ridiculously high scores from Cops 'n Crooks matches.
- 7. Changed GTA Race and Race so that the last player remaining always receives a reward of $250.
- 8. Fixed an issue where spectating players would prevent the game from finishing.
- 9. Fixed an issue where players were unable to spectate in Round 2 of Cops 'n Crooks games.
- 10. Changed countdown timer in lobby so that it no longer resets when new players join a game.
- 11. Changed the kick option so that kicked players are no longer brought back to single player.
No word yet on when Rockstar will be patching the game's unplayable poor "hide behind cover" or "require 75 goddamn games of darts before getting weapons from Jacob" bugs.
